Yeah this is why Apple has been slowly peeling away traditional file / folder features from front and center. The user doesn’t care where or how they get their files, they just want them at any given time. Spotlight being the most successful at obfuscating where anything is yet allowing access to everything. Microsoft has started to pick up on that and attempt to solve the same problems.
Give me a semi-smartphone. All I want is a dumb phone that has high quality music streaming, GPS, Mail, RCS messaging, calling, Bluetooth, and a modern camera. No big screen, return to T9 typing on a keypad. Just something pocketable that can take good pictures and tackle basic communication in a reliable shell.
I even love the idea of the screen being at-best preview size for photos just for framing and general composition. Where you can’t really tell the quality until you look at them later on a computer.
Idk I’m rambling but after my last app purge I’m down to just 60 apps (which includes most of the built in ones). Still feels like too many since I’ve also cut my daily phone usage down to about 90m on average. I’m kinda tired of it all.
I want to setup snapshots but I don’t really understand how to do that properly yet in a way that lets me shoot the snapshots over to my smb storage like Apple’s Time Machine does.
Check out ddcutil and setting keyboard shortcuts. At a single press you can switch monitor inputs easily so no need to fiddle with monitor buttons. Combined with a USB switcher you’re down to just 2 button presses to swap machines like this.
This is it, chief. The current pinnacle of the genre until something better comes around.
+1 for using LTSC with MAS activation. It’s about the only acceptable way to run windows at home, other than doing the same thing but in an isolated VM.
Maybe I don’t understand what you mean, but I have an smb share that my phone can always access (via vpn, or when on network). IOS does a good job remembering it, staying connected, and reconnecting between interruptions. I keep my obsidian folder on the share and the iOS app has never had problems finding and connecting to it, just as my desktop and laptop, keeping everything in sync automatically.
Literally the only reason I decided to buy it.
Totally agree! I hope my comment wasn’t taken as a negative. I am biased but there are several EU projects that are looking so promising and primed to actually compete with SpaceX which should bring healthy accelerated advancements.
$500 for 120TB!?
I spent about $1200 for 100tb of spinning rust for one of my NAS boxes. Please tell me where I can get 20% more for 40% less!
For clarity, at the $240 per 20tb CMR drive, assuming no inflated cost due to novel production processes, it would be around $1440 for one drive. I’m going to assume ~$1600 minimum. Also, I’m not going to buy one until they can prove it doesn’t have the same issues as shingled drives.
I could be wrong and biased but it could just be that the US is so far ahead in the commercial space… uhhh… space. EU has been piggybacking (and paying for) US company launches because their programs have not caught up yet. They’re getting there but setbacks keep happening.
I have yet to see anyone use the app drawer in the wild (gods know I sure as hell don’t).
Completely useless especially since pull-down Home Screen to search is so robust.
Wow they even managed to make the funny number not funny anymore.
I have been thinking about starting a blog.
Any recommendations for self-hosted blogging? The setup itself might be worthy of a post :)
Good tips, but how does one practice them? Often times I see advice along the same lines but no offers on how to improve these skills.
Nice!
NUT is fantastic and so easy to setup, it’s pretty magical watching all my machines and services shutdown during a simulated power outage to verify functionality.
No, valves fees are completely reasonable. $100 one time fee, then 30% for any game key sold by valve with something like a million guaranteed impressions. Also it’s 0% if you generate the keys for free and sell them elsewhere like on your own website. All with the benefit of the steam network and hosting. I’m tired of people believing Tim’s lies under the facade of “he’s and asshole but he has a point”. He doesn’t have a point. He’s throwing a tantrum because he doesn’t have what he wants which is hundreds of millions of paying customers and he doesn’t want to put the time and investment needed into building out the infrastructure to achieve the same feat. He’s a greedy little fuck that wants to do the bare minimum to get rich while valve has been coasting as a market leader because they built the whole freakin market!
Yeah, like, what do people expect? Of course they’ll do good things to get re-elected. That’s literally how this works! I don’t get the people who argue “it’s just for getting votes”. Yes, that’s how it works.
I’m just waiting to see what Kate Lowerton has to say about all this.
